Hi, Amon Duul 2 10CC Scorpions Jimi Hendrix Robert Fripp Roye Albrighton Toni McPhee Streetwalkers/Roger Chapman I'm not sure that "effects" is, necessarily exclusive to progressive or prog ... everyone uses them. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

Try Steve Hillage's GREEN. He uses a lot of guitar effects throughout Green. Also Motivation Radio and the early Gong releases like the "Gong Trilogy" , Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg and You. Steve Hackett on Please Don't Touch. Spectral Mornings, and Voyage of the Acolyte. Jimi Hendrix on "1983, A Merman I Shall Turn To Be from Electric Ladyland is a long piece containing guitar effects of the future and with a experimental futuristic sound and style.

Good suggestions! Some of my favorite guitar processing resulted from Bob Fripp's collaborations with Brian Eno! Check out Eno's albums "Here Come The Warm Jets," "Another Green World," "Before & After Science" etc. for some great guitar tracks by Fripp that were then processed by Eno! One of my favorites, "King's Lead Hat" from "Before & After Science" - check out Fripp's processed guitar solo at 3:08! Good stuff! |

David Gilmour's first solo album. Or Floyd's Animals. Plenty of interesting effects. As someone mentioned previously, Hendrix's Electric Ladyland. Give particular attention to "Gypsy Eyes", "Burning of the Midnight Lamp" and, of course, "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)". ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

The Mars Volta guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez is known for his extensive pedalboard. Also, Radiohead. They use plenty of effects but very resourcefully. On top of effects pedals, Jonny Greenwood uses other effects such as the Mutronics Mutator (heard on the solo to Paranoid Android), for which I think he has a controller on his guitar. He also uses the visual programing language Max/MSP to make weird stuttering effects (as heard on Airbag and Go to Sleep). Ed O'Brien has a more extensive pedalboard than Greenwood, but uses effects to get more ethereal, post-rock-y sounds. Plenty of effects to be heard OK Computer and onward. ------------- https://dreamwindow.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow - My Music

Manuel Gottsching: as Ash Ra Tempel, Ashra or himself. Inventions for Electric Guitar and Blackouts. Richard Pinhas: as Heldon or himself. Franco Falsini: as Sensations' Fix or himself. "Music is Painting in the Air." The candidate's list is endless...

Fields of the Nephilim - Wail of Sumer/And There Will Your Heart Be Also. Effects include delay, chorus, ring modulation, tremolo, distortion, a lot of reverb... It's from their album Elizium. Recorded, engineered and mixed by Andy Jackson (who worked with Pink Floyd) and recorded at David Gilmour's houseboat studio. |

Inventions For Electric Guitars by Manuel Gottsching and the song Bijou by Queen have some effects some of the early Pink Floyd and the Adrian Belew solo career and late King Crimson albums -------------
